The Lake in the cave near Beef
Slough, Wis, was explored recently
by c. A. Ward and companions. They
rowed around the borders of it. They
think they travelled at the rate of two
miles an hour, and they occupied six
teen hours making the "trip. The lake
is fed by water fall, whose source is
so high that it could not be seen by
the light of the torches.
There is Miss ALL living in Appline
county, about ten miles from Baxley,
Ga, who is 10 years and months old
and weighs $50 pounds. She weighed
at the age of years 40 pounds. She
is no higher than children usually are
at her age, so you may Judge she is a
sight. Persons who have seen her say
she is as broad as she is long.
On the St. Paul extension. a few

overweignted and suddenly sunk, car
rying in addition to the filling several
dump cars. The hole was sounded
and found to be thirty feet in depth.

Homemade Cutlery.

1--WE have changed the old style of
CARRYING on the cutlery business" said
a manufacturer recently to reporter
for the Mait and Express. Instead of
importing knives. scissors, razors,
shears, and scythes, we are now ex-
porting them You viii find various
tools, suci. as saws, chisels, and planes
of American make, in many OF the
large warehouses of English cities.
I'm the manufacture of what kind
of cutlery do Americans excel?"
knife blades, razor blades, and
axes. In the latter the United States
has made such advances that it excels
all other countries excepting, perhaps,
Canada. In 1872 there was imported
into the country cutlery to the value
of $40, 800, 900. which was cut down to
$500, 900 in 1882. In 1882 about $780,
600 worth of domestic goods were sent
abroad. Last year the imports were
less than $500, 90, and the exports were
more than S2,000,000.
Good table knives are made of iron
and steel welded together. The blade
is of steel and the shoulders and the
part that goes into the handle, called
techinally the tang, are of iron. The
blade is made from sheet or cast steel;
the tang is forged from bar iron.
Knife blades and other small articles
are usually forged into shape while
still attached to the bar, which serves
for the workmen to hold them by.
Two men are employed in forging such
work. The principal workman, or
foreman, as he is sometimes called,
has small hammer of from two TO
four pounds in weight, while the ham,
norman yields the sledge-hammer,
weighing from ten to fifty pounds.
The foreman directs the Zimmerman,
whose blows merely follow those of the
small directing hammer. In drawing
down or reducing Il bar both in length
and width the flat face of the hammer
is used, but when the length or breadth
only is to be extended the narrow
edge of the hammer is used.
s'The cavity in the razor blade is
made by hammering the blade on a
small round-faced anvil. The notch
or nail-hole in a pennyknife is struck
with a chisel."
Are cheap knives made in the same
manner rs the more eXpensiye?
mo; common knives are made en-
tirely of iron. and the difference in
price arises not merely from the diff
ference in the cost OF material but
from the greater facility of working.
Forks are wrought into shape as

necessary. They are then shaped out

Yes, on account of the particles of
steel which enter the nostrils of the
workingmen and which causes pain

A. M. Thompson.

The st. Paul Ball Tossers Have a Lit

st. Louis Gets Away With Chicago in
the Second Game of Their
Series.

The Northwestern Sportsman to day will
contain the following announcement which
will be read with interest by devotees of
the national game, not only in this city, but
IN other places that have teams in the
Northwestern league:
The public will no doubt be surprised to
learn that Manager John s. Barnes has dis
posed of the controlling interest in the ST.
Paul base ball club. The purchaser is A. NJ.
Thompson, the jackson street dispenser of
liquors. According to the terms OF the pur-
chase, MIR. Barnes retains the management of
the club, while Mr.. Thompson will take charge
OF the financial end. He will contract all
debts and pay all bills. Mr.. Barnes was in
duced to enter into this arrangement by rea-
son OF the immense amount of work which
has fallen upon him. He has found it i'm
possible for him to look after the men upon
the field and attend TO the gate and outside
matters as well. The business has grown to
such proportions that the Whole time of two
men is required to conduct the club as it
should be conducted. A. NJ. Thompson is
well known TO the base ball public of ST. Paul.
He has been identified with the national game
ali his lie. His first connection with a pro-
fessional club was with the st. Paul team of
1854. He started the season as stockholder,
but finished it as the manager of the club,
succeeding r. l.. Hunter TO that position,
July l. AT the opening of last season he as
sisted MIR. Barnes in organizing his club, and
Tor the first month managed the team for him.
II Is the intention of both MIR. Barnes and Mr..
thompson to spare no expense during the
coming season TO have everything connected
with the club the best that money can buy.
The grounds will be fitted up in the best pos
slble shape, and the nine strengthened, if it
should not be found sufficiently strong to hold
ITS own with the other clubs of the league.

THE OCEAN YACHT RACE.
Capt. Saanuels says There Was no
Trouble Between tsim and the
Owner of the Daunt1ess.

owner OF the Dauntless.
NEW YORK, April Capt. Samuels, of
the schooner Dauntless, defeated by the
Coronet in the race across the Atlantic. az
rived here on the steamship Adriatic to-day
He sailed from Queenstown on Wednesday
of last week. The interest in Capt. Sam
uels' arrival has been great since it was re-
ported in this country that he and his en-
ployer, Caldwell Colt, had fallen out.
Capt. Samuels said with regard to the re-
ported trouble:
The entire story was a compile te fabrica-
ton. My relations with Mr.. Colt were of
the pleasantest nature throughout the en-
tire trip, and nothing occurred to mar the
friendly feeling that existed betw cen u.s. In
fact. never made a trip where everything
was so agreeable and pleasant as this one
was, and when Mr.. Colt and l parted. we did
so the best of friends. My only reason for
leaving him was that l had fulfilled the en-
gagement | entered into with the owner of
the Dauntless, and there was no reason for
my remaining aboard any longer. The trip
across was the worst that ever experienced
in any of my travels, and / have sailed
around a good bit. The sailors were not dry
a moment from the time we left New York
until after we dropped anchor in Cork har-
Dor.
When asked to give his opinion of the
cause of the Dauntless' defeat. Capt. Sam
uels replied that the Coronet was much the
better boat. and the Dauntless was fairly
out sailed:
1.-THE Coronet,' he contlnu ed,''is magnifi-
cent craft, and knew it would be ha rd race
before we started. My idea in letting the
Coronet take the lead was to prevent every
one from being discouraged before the
yachts got out of sight, as they would have
been had l taken the lead ] did not give VI
the race until l heard that the Coronet was
nearly tWenty-four hours ahead of u.s.

JAMES G. BLAINE rs ILL.
His Attack is Said Not to Be Serious
as Yet,
But a Physician Has Been Summoned
From ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April S.-A private tele-
Fort Gibson. Indian Ter, stating that Mr..
Blaine has Il severe cold and is threatened
with pneumonia. r. c. Kerens, near
personal friend of Mr.. Blaine, accompanied
by H. H. Mudd. prominent physician of
this city, left here at l p. m. by special
train for Fort Gibson. None of the circunl-
stances leading up to Mr.. Blaine's illness
are known here. The inference naturally
drawn from the fact that a physician has
gone from here to see and perhaps to at
tend Mr.. Blaine. in face of the probable
fact that there is skillful army surgeon a
Fort Gibbon, is that he isssIikey to be seri-
ously ill. The following dispatch was re-
ceived by the Associated Press at $50 D.
m. from the cOmmandant of the post at
Fort Gibson:
Mr.. Blaine is suffering from bronchial ca
tarrh with fever of a remittent type. He
sleeps well and has no typhoid symptoms.
His respiration is normal, fifteen per minute.
A despatch to the Associated Press from
DennisOn, Tex, says the manager of the
telegraph Office at Gibson station reports
that news received there tonight at p. M
by telephone from Fort Gibson, says that
Mr. Blaine is quite sick; that he has cold
alld some feYer: tnal he is sleeping well,
and that he has bronchial catarrh. His
respiration is normal. Two physicians are
expected there from st. Louis tonight.
We could not learn whether his condition
was serious or not as the post is some dis
tance from the railroad, and the telephone
between these points was not working well.
1t is doubtful if anything later can be
learned tonight.
The latest information from Fort Gibson
is that Mr.. Blaine was quite unwell when
the train arrived at Gibson station on Sunday
night; that he did not go over to the fort
until the next day; that he has been i'll
with a bad cold since then. but that he will
leave for the North tomorrow. 1t is not
stated where he will go, nor what his
future movements will be, but it was given
out when he was in this city that when he
left Fort Gibson he would go to CHICAGO.

Revivin~t,e s,ue Laws.

WASHINGTON. April S.-The commits
SiQners of the District of Columbia have de-
cided to revive the blue laws on Sunday
next and prevent the opening of any places
of business except apOthecary shops and un-
dertaking establishments. While the COM
missioners were going through the District
laws recently, i'll order to see which of
them should be incorporated in the new
police regulations as authorized to be issued
by the last congress, they discovered an old
and obsolete law directing the closing of all
business places except those of druggists,
undertakers and barber shops. A subse-
quent law closed barber shops, SO that only
the two former are authorized
to remain open. The commits
SOners determined to enforce
the law, and on next Sunday all news
stands, cigar stores, confectioneries. and
possibly even lunch houses will be
forced to shut up. 1t is expected that test
case will be made by some dealer almost
Immediately. While the commissioners do
not state such to be the case, their action is
believed to be the outcome of the enforce
ment of the law against Sunday liquor
selling. This has been enforced the last two
Sundays, and has proved remarkably sue
cessful, owing to a provision making a
second conviction for its violation w Ork a
forfeiture of its license
